248 ~ 'Tis My Happiness Below
1
’Tis my happiness below Not to live without the cross; But the Saviour’s power to know, Sanctifying every loss.
2
Trials must and will befall; But with humble faith to see Love inscribed upon them all — This is happiness to me.
3
Did I meet no trials here, No chastisement by the way, Might I not with reason fear I should prove a castaway?
4
Trials make the promise sweet; Trials give new life to prayer; Trials bring me to his feet, Lay me low, and keep me there.
